'No excuse' and 'weak management' - fans on discipline issues

We asked for your views on can Chelsea's discipline issues be blamed on youth? Or is it something else? How can they fix it?

Take a look at the data on the post below this and here are some of your comments on the dilemma:

Kwaku: It is a self fulfilling prophecy. Many of the yellow cards that Chelsea players pick up are routinely ignored by the referees when other teams are involved. It's not a discipline issue.

Dell: I don't think age has anything to do with it. All these players know the rules, they've all been playing since the age of 10 or even earlier. It's ill discipline, pure and simple, and it's for the coaching staff to drill it into their heads that they need to be careful how they tackle and, more importantly, keep their mouths shut when they don't like the decision of the referee. The amount of yellow cards given to Chelsea players for dissent is crazy.

Tony: Youthfulness is absolutely no excuse. Most of them are internationals and should know better. It stems from weak management off the pitch, no apparent accountability and total ill-discipline from over rated and over paid players who should be performing much better. All round it sums up where Chelsea are as a club under the present owners and sporting directors. They have taken the 2021 Champions League winners, mega successful academy plus a very talented trophy-winning ladies team and somehow destroyed the structure of all of all them with breath-taking incompetence.

Ross: It's not a youth thing. A vast swathe of the red cards have been for things that have been thought to be innocuous for other teams in exactly the same circumstances. There is a referee/VAR conspiracy at play undoubtedly.
